Creating TOC/Index using a lisp script

Show all headers | View raw

Hello, I'm new to Lisp and programming. 
Currently I'm using a few macro-api functions from QS 2.0 for some smaller tasks.
Some of these tasks have to do with editing index documents.

Now I would like to combine creating the index document and doing the editing tasks.

That means moving away from "Book -> Index..." and instead create an index document using a lisp script. 

I found some code for creating a toc, but for Ileaf 5.
Because I had read somewhere that TOC and Index have similar syntax, I tested the following lines (ILeaf 6 and QS 2.0; the script into "System -> Custom -> Selection"):

(defun create-toc-for-all (container)
;creates a TOC for all docs in the conainer
   (let (children child)
     ;get all the unselected children
     (setq children (dt-children container :not-selected))
     ;select them
     (while (setq child (pop children))
       (tell child mid:set-props :selected t))
     ;create table of contents for all chidren
     (toc-create-selected container)
))

Unfortunately it does not work. It seems that there happens nothing.
Are there any ideas to make it work?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
